Bindicator Roto-Bin-Dicator
The Roto-Bin-Dicator® is the most universal of all level sensing technologies and is the most popular level switch used in dry bulk materials. The Roto-Bin-Dicator® is a rotating paddle type, bulk material level sensor offered with a wide variety of paddle options for unequaled application versatility. It is easy to install and requires no special tools or calibrations.
- Proven Technology: Introduced in 1954, the Roto-Bin-Dicator is the original rotating paddlewheel level switch for dry bulk materials.
- Unmatched Versatility:
- Adapts to various applications and materials with a wide range of paddle options (4-vane, curved, 90-degree).
- Customizable extensions for diverse tank/vessel configurations.
- Mounts vertically or horizontally.
- Easy Installation & Use:
- Simple installation with no special tools or calibrations required.
- Reliable Performance:
- Accurately detects the level of dry bulk materials in tanks and silos.
- Durable Construction:
- Available in various materials and finishes to withstand harsh environments.
- Global Approvals:
- Meets safety standards with UL (US & Canada) and CE certifications.
- Options for ordinary locations and hazardous area applications.
Applications:
- Point level detection in a wide range of dry bulk materials.
